The map lamps are actuated by pressing on the lens to turn ON the lamp and a second time turn OFF the lamp.

OVERHEAD TRAVEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (OTIS)
Overhead Travel Information System (OTIS) is a module with six informational displays which can be displayed using the four outer buttons. When the vehicle is first turned ON:

- OTIS blanks the display for a half second
- Illuminates all segments of the vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) at full brightness for one and a half seconds
- Displays whatever was being viewed when the ignition was last turned OFF
OTIS may also be integrated with the Universal Transmitter. If so, your OTIS module will have three buttons centered together between the outer four buttons. Below the three buttons are corresponding dots to indicate which button you are using.

THERE ARE 6 DISPLAYS:
- Compass/Temperature
- Average fuel economy
- Distance to empty
- Instantaneous fuel economy
- Trip odometer
- Elapsed time

There are 4 buttons for OTIS operations
The buttons operate when the ignition is in the ON position. The VFD will display the last display before ignition was turned OFF. The four outer buttons operate:
- STEP
- C/T - Compass/Temperature
- US/M - English/Metric
- RESET

1. STEP BUTTON

The RESET button is also used to set the variance and/or calibrate the compass. Refer to the Variance Procedure and Calibration Procedure.

There are three buttons for Universal Transmitter operations
Each button controls an independent channel for transmitter operations. A house shaped icon will be illuminated along with the corresponding number of dots located at the bottom of the icon.

The Universal Transmitter will operate most:
